Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Where Were You April 25, 1969?-- Part 3

Using Dave McAleer's Book of Hit Singles, these are some other songs in Billboard's Top Twenty for the month of April that weren't on Bob Stroud's list.

DIZZY-- TOMMY ROE-- Very underrated guy. He sure had a lot of hits.
GALVESTON-- GLEN CAMPBELL-- pickin' and cryin'

ONLY THE STRONG SURVIVE-- JERRY BUTLER-- Chicago's Ice Man
TIME OF THE SEASON-- ZOMBIES-- Rod Argent and crew.

RUN AWAY CHILD, RUNNING WILD-- TEMPTATIONS-- Love that Motown.
TRACES-- CLASSICS IV--

PROUD MARY-- CCR-- My all-time favorite group.
DO YOUR THING-- WATTS 103RD STREET BAND-- And the Isley brothers had "It's Your Thing" at the top of the Chicago charts.

DON'T GIVE IN TO HIM-- GARY PUCKETT & THE UNION GAP-- He just wants one thing, girl. But, I don't and will always respect you.
INDIAN GIVER-- 1910 FRUITGUM COMPANY-- I don't care what they say, I love my Bubble Gum music.

HOT SMOKE & SASSAFRASS-- BUBBLE PUPPY-- Garage rock with a touch of psychedelic thrown in. Should have gone to #1.

A Good Year for Music. --RoadDog


Ten-year-old Alan's take on who a guy should marry: You got to find somebody who likes the same stuff. Like, if you like sports, she should like sports, and she should keep the chips and dip coming.
